One Day More

So tomorrow is the official publication date for THE MARK. It's been trickling into stores over the past few days, so I finally had the chance to see what my book looks like in an actual store. I've also begun receiving my first fan letters, which is just weird. Not many feelings can equate to seeing the product of your blood and sweat in the real world. And if you're a bookseller and see some random 6'3" guy with a digital camera taking pictures of the shelves tomorrow, don't be alarmed.

Also gotta give a shout out to Alison Pace. My wife and I ran into Alison at our neighborhood dog run yesterday, and met her dog Carlie. Apparently Carlie will be featured in Alison's fourth book, so I suppose I might have to think about penciling Wilson in for a cameo in one of mine. (BTW Wilson got a haircut on Friday, and let's just say the groomers went a little too crazy with the scissors. He now looks kind of like a cross between a lamb and Mr. Bigglesworth. On the plus side he won't need another haircut until Hilary Clinton takes office.)

I will post more details tomorrow, but if you read THE MARK and write a review on your blog, website, or elsewhere, send me the link at jason@jasonpinter.com. Anyone who reviews or mentions THE MARK on their site will be entered to win a prize (and not a signed copy of the book you already reviewed). Stay tuned!
